Every day, I have to look into yall's dead eyes and return your empty smiles and pat you on the head for every bit of performative allyship you do—knowing full well that you'd toss me into a wood chipper if it meant you got to keep playing your stupid word games. I see you.
I never imagined I'd need to say these words, but here we are nevertheless... Amnesty International can fuck off into the sun.
Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
Old enough to say "get off my lawn", young enough to not be able to afford a lawn.
We're fucked at @splatspokane.org if something like this goes down. It doesn't matter though—the work is too important.
I’ve been doing some in-depth reporting on the Prairieland cases, and had to get this out first as I continue to dig: I spoke with Ana Bell, sister of Des, who it turns out co-owns and runs an indie bookstore. We talked about the case, the judge, book banning, ICE killings, and living through this:
It took me nearly four years to realize that when I'm arguing with my partner (Nanette Cloud), I'm an old lady yelling at a Cloud.

They say good things come in threes. First McConnell (presumably), now Graham. So who's next? Dare I dream...?
Almost time for the robed overlords to do their Hearye Henceforth decrees about who’s no longer American and why poor people can’t order omelettes anymore.

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison
Advocates sound alarm after zines were used as evidence to convict protesters of terrorism charges tied to 2025 protest at Texas ICE facility

Driving to Coeur d'Alene this morning, I saw a murder truck with two flags sticking out of the bed. One was a filthy, ragged US flag that had clearly been there for some time. The other was a shiny new Cummins Turbo Diesel flag. Can't help wondering what was there before it...
I'd rather put A1 sauce on my hot fudge sundae than use AI for anything. #FuckAI
The degree to which Spokane Pride is not meeting the moment is staggering.
Fuck arterials. I'm ONLY winding my way through residential side streets for the rest st of the summer.
Happy Pride! May your Pride be filled with equal parts queer joy and righteous anger.
Queerness is inherently political. We didn't make it that way, but we have to live with it. Pride is absolutely political, and anyone trying to scrub the politics out of Pride is doing our enemies' work for them.

I remember reposting this meme five years ago, or thereabouts. It's hardly a breeze these days.
Saw this meme posted on Threads, and I know that everyone loves to do their "lol, rainbow capitalism!" jokes, but at this point it's been at least a few years since it's been accurate? Lotta brands are to afraid to even pander to us anymore.
Post a poster you used to have on your wall. I had this one, except it wasn't all washed out and it was signed by the band cuz I'm a nerd.
Post a poster you used to have on your wall. This was teenage me.
This is way too real for me. I demand trans liberation from my knees.
Happy pride!
TIL that MacGyver is an official in-the-dictionary eponym.

During jury selection, Judge Pennell instructed counsel to pretend that the justice system works. Talk about foreshadowing.
Here's a Guardian article about the verdict. It raises the very obvious 1A concerns, and it gives @rangemedia.co a little shout-out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Federal jury finds army veteran and two other ICE protesters guilty of conspiracy
Case involving June 2025 protest is escalation in Trump officials’ attack on first amendment rights, say experts
theguardian.com
US citizens' ability to protest—and the First Amendment itself—suffered a severe blow today. These three people each showed up separately to a spontaneous protest, each with different goals (beyond preventing a kidnapping) and starkly different methods. They were all nonviolent.
The attorneys for the defense have said they plan to appeal the verdict, but before that they will ask the judge to overturn it in a Rule 29 hearing in five weeks.
Unfuckingbelievable. All three guilty. The system is utterly broken.
Archer is found guilty of conspiracy to impede or injure officers, counts A (injuring or impeding an officer) and D (property). Archer is also found guilty of aiding and abetting.
